Washington State Ferries

Could the ferry loader at Edmonds ferry be any ruder I ask if I could pull to the side. Since my daughter visiting from Idaho with her boyfriend was few cars behind and wasn’t going make it on with me Just started screaming I could have pulled to side let few more cars on and caught next boat. But No, thanks for ruining what would have been a fun experience for us all. Wa state ferry workers RUDE. RUDE RUDE. The little balding guy I hope karma pays you a visit soon.

This ferry spot goes from/​to Edmonds to Kingston. It’s a nice, smooth ride. The employees know what they are doing.
Gorgeous view any time of the day. You can feel like you’re completely away from the world.
Great pricing! Without a vehicle, the prices are $ 8.20 for an adult passenger, $ 4.10 for kids and 65+. It’s $ 105 for a monthly pass. Prices vary with a vehicle based on how big it is. For a 4 door sedan, it’s $ 14.30 counting the driver.

FYI
Get there early!!! ONE HOUR before, or you’ll be waiting an hour for the next one!
There’s also time to get out and stretch of you’ve been traveling long…
The ferry is like others, food and drinks available on board…

arrived at the toll booth to catch the 8am ferry. turned on Sunset Ave (following gps) well, OBVIOUSLY you’re not allowed to do that because the guy at the toll booth told us don’t turn right over there, all those other people were waiting & it creates excitement! well, if we’re «not allowed» to turn right, then at the light should be a sign that says you’re not allowed to turn right. maybe I missed the sign? idk. oh & maybe he missed it too, but the guy at the light that was coming straight down let us go ahead.
plus, they really need to open another toll booth for the morning rush instead of long long lines for 1 lane.

This is just a Unilocal high five for being open and courteous on Christmas so I could get home to my family!
Even the galley was open with breakfast foods and coffee on my 6:20am Christmas morn sailing before my drive to the (far) North Olympic Peninsula.

Love coming onto the ship with my car and especially during the day. Sunrise or sunset is the best because you can step outside and take pictures. I find it relaxing to look outside and see the waves under the ship. The staff is very nice and they even put blocks under your car if you’re parked on the ramp during the trip.
Their cafeteria has my favorite snack, popcorn! It only costs $ 3 for a small and $ 3.75 for a large popcorn. They also have salads, sandwiches even breakfast ones, coffee, cocoa, tea and even snacks like almonds.
Recently, I discovered Wave2go, which allows you to buy your day, monthly or yearly pass online. I would recommend buying it online, just in case the credit card machine malfunctions.
The ferry itself is kept very clean, same goes with the bathrooms. The bathrooms even have a plastic disposable bag dispenser for women’s sanitary needs.

This review is for the driving on pay troll lane 3 (further most right).
When does the flashing green arrow actually mean «closed»? When it is lane 3 at the Edmonds troll booth!
If you are not open don’t change the red x sign to the green arrow. If you do change the sign from red x to green arrow do not get all pissy when people come into your lane.
Admit you made a mistake and change the green arrow back to the red x AFTER you drain your queue.

Even after waiting for close to 2 hours (who knew all those people wanted to attend the Sequim Lavendar Festival) and paying an exorbitant fee to board with our 35 foot motorhome this was a highlight of our trip. It would have been faster and less expensive to drive the extra miles but the experience was memorable and worthwhile. The scenery is fantastic and overall a very relaxing trip.

Overall very relaxing and a great view. I’m still confused over the pricing. The first time I paid $ 17.30 for a round trip ticket, and the next time — a week later — I was told I’d save money because I had a small car… and it was $ 26.35. It still beats the extra time driving.
The food and drinks on board are expensive, but they have a captive audience. You can bring your own food, and it’s only about a 20-​minute ride.

Long, terrible wait times. Ferry workers are usually rude to me when I ask a question. I think the ferry system is run very poorly. From a commuters perspective, I am very disappointed that I was mislead about using this as an «efficient» way to get to work. The only reason I am putting 5 stars is because these reviews are obviously scrubbed, and this review would never show up if I post the rating I really want to. I would hope the WSDOT would use the generous amount of tax dollars I pay, in addition to the astronomical fares charged in order to restructure this route, but I know that will never happen — why would WSDOT change anything?

Always friendly, drama free and fast experience. I will say the prices are a little steep. Example being for one car driver and passenger $ 25. (Which if you’re on a tight budget and you don’t mind an extra maybe 1 ½ hrs added to your trip, you may just want to spend $ 10 on gas and drive around.)
Food and beer a little pricey too once upstairs, but by the time you get upstairs order get your food sit down and finish, its time to go back to you car. So I usually just wait it out in the car and grab a beer on the other side.
Depending on the day and time I’ve never had longer than a 45 minute wait for the ferry.

Great Ferry, this one was a lot more $ than another one I used. It was a much longer journey though. Around $ 21 for the car and 2 passengers.
Get out of your car, I beg you, it is sooo beautiful walking on the deck and enjoying the view.

We had a wedding across the water and I thought that we’d take this ferry over and the Bremerton ferry on the return. I had no idea that the Edmonds-​Kingston ferry was so busy. We were in the queue on the side of the road for what seemed like an eternity and to be honest, I was convinced that we were going to miss our scheduled time.
Turns out that we were one of the last few cars let aboard and we did make our wedding. The ferries departing from here seemed like they were on the smaller side. Since we don’t take them with any regularity, I didn’t really take that into consideration. Lesson learned for sure. Dealing with the downtown traffic might be a pain but they run larger vessels which would equal greater chance to making it to one’s destination without having to leave hours in advance.

Wow — the price of these ferrys have paid for them selves over and over…
they are old and dirtythe fact they float amazes me.
This state is so in the dark ages.
Sydney Au is a newer country and so much more advanced on travel and we are older and should be advanced.
Gov. Inslee and the past others have no vision. More passenger boats to get cars off the road.

I always enjoy my ferry rides. For most it’s just a way to commute. For me it’s about experiencing the ride itself. I enjoy going upstairs and breathing in the clear, brisk but fresh air. Of course the view is always my favorite part. I simply love the calming effect it has on me. :-)

All gorgeous Ferry rides in Seattle. I highly recommend taking a ride on one of these, even if it’s to Olympic Peninsula and back. The scenery is incredible. You can just buy a one way ticket for $ 8 dollars and ride to the Peninsula and back.
My group took a ride out at night and we were able to star gaze and see the sunset. Totes amazing.

Our ferry ride was quite enjoyable after an organized and efficient boarding experience!
I’m a huge fan of ferries in the Puget Sound area… if you’re here you should definitely make time for a trip. After all, Seattle and the surrounding areas are best seen from the water :)

This is the most scenic commute ferry I’ve ever seen. My boyfriend and I decided to do a ferry ride as a date to Kingston Island, and it was incredibly romantic. Seeing a baby seal at the Kingston dock was icing on the cake.
I wish I had more to say, but I don’t. If you’re vising Seattle at any point, take one of the ferries. I highly recommend the Edmonds-​Kingston one :)

I love riding the ferries. I’ve never had a bad experience. They have food if you’re hungry, the restrooms are pretty clean. Love the big seating booths and views. On our way home we stayed in our vehicle, but it was a nice, quick ride. I love the ferries! Ah!

For the price, this is as close as you’ll get to feeling like you’re on the Titanic.
The ferry rides are super quick, I have yet to figure out how people have time to eat or drink. They keep this ferry moving like a well oiled machine (no pun intended). Once its time to board, you park your car, go up on the deck, walk around once and go back to your car and before you know it, its time to unload.
